HELPING HERSELF.

An Americanized Englishwoman Who
Skinned an Alligator.
An Englishwoman, now living on
her farm near Opelousas. heard some
time ago that in a ditch in her field
was a good-sized alligator. Not a bit
distressed was she, but quite delighted,
and anxious to possess its skin. Ac-
cordingly she had it captured and
killed. but from superstition or other
silly motive not man on the place
was willing to do the SHINING Final
", the lady prevailed over the objec-
tions OF one, but he set about the task
SO awkwardly that she dismissed him
and undertook it herself. With
Ratchet and knife she and her little
ten-year-old daughter, actually re-
moved the skin entire. 1t was hard
work, especially to her who knew
nothing of such things, had never seen
an alligator skinned, and had little
idea of how to accomplish it. But &C.
complsh it she did, and now, cured
and Strengthened, her treasure hangs
in the parlor, an honored trophy, not
beautiful. but rare, alongside of her fam
cy etagere and elegant piano. She points
to it with pride and says triumphantly:
''There are not many of my country
women who can say. as can, i have
skinned an alligator. 5
This same lady has travelled extern
sively through Europe and North
America, but heartily declares that
there is mo place like home''-viz.,
her present home on the prairie. She
labors with her own hands toward its
Improvement. She painted her floors,
papered her walls, hung up bright En-
glish pictures in homemade frames Of
her own contriving. and turned her
hand to any bit of carpentering, cab
Matchmaking, plumbing, ETC.. needed
in the house. She has laid out garden
beds, constructed brick walks, and
made her little parterre, with its roses,
portulaccas, pansies, EGGPLANT, candy
tuft and mignonette-a thing,'of joy and
beauty. She digs and hoes, fertilizes,
weeds, plants in propria persona, and
draws the line only at blowing and
fencing.-M o. Picayune.

GRASS WIDOWS.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Will you please inform me the orr
gin and meaning of the phrase of
grass widow
Minneapolis, March s.
A SUBSCRIBER.
a grass widow is a widow by bre
vet. She is sometimes described as
NEEDLESS widow, who exhibits none
of the outward signs of desolation
which the heart feels. She is mar
ried woman without husband. or at
least for whom the husband. is what
Paul said Of faith, ''the substance of
things hoped for ard the evidence of
things not seen." The dictionaries
define grass widow to be woman
who has..been estranged from her hus
band, or has been abandoned by him.
It is di1ieult to give the origin of the
phrase. as there Is such difference
of opinion among competent author,-
ties. We know that 1t comes from
two good old Saxon words gras and
widna. the former meaning ito de
vonr," and the latter espouseless.
The Greek word .'grasia" corresponds
with the Saxon "gras." and signifies
"to gnaw," from which we are'led to
infer that grass widow in ancient
times was supposed to possess:danger-
Gus qualities. She probably went
about as roaring lion seeking whom
she might devour. She is an entirely
different type Of womankind in this
age-thanks to the progress of civiliz
ation-and is now more apt to be de-
voured than to devonr. There are
others who hold to the opinion that
the phrase dates back to more an
cient origin than our Saxon ancestry.
They hold that it originated in
the primitive ages Of the human
race. when pastoral pursuits con-
stituted the worlds sole industry.
Men held very light views respecting
the marital relations in those days
and brovet widows were numerous.
It is asserted they lerded together in
fiocks like the sheep on the plains and
subsisted as best they could on fruits
and Heterogeneous they came TO be
spoken of as ''grass widows" In the
absence of any positive evidence as to
the correctness of those two theories
OF the origin Of the phrase. we leave
out correspondent to ''pay his money
and take his CHOICE" but In a spirit
or pnre kindness we remind him that
Mr. Weller's caitionary advice to his
son Samuel included all sorts of
widows.
